Field notes
The page presents factory management as a chain of measurable constraints: machine throughput, belt capacity, wind exposure, and power demand. Its example recipe calculation says producing five Beacon Cores per minute takes 51 machines across 31 recipe nodes and 720 kW, while the beacon's fourth level calls for 600 kW to hold for ten minutes. The homepage also includes a small equipment-balancing puzzle with keyboard controls.
